The above template is for use ONLY on profiles that are of importance to the project or need to be managed and possibly PPP'd by the project. It is not for every single person from North Dakota.

Goals

The overall goals of the US History Project are to create and develop profiles on WikiTree for those who lived in the state of North Dakota. To meet these goals:

1. Add North Dakota-related profiles, checking for existing profiles to avoid duplication. If any duplicate profiles exist, request merges, starting with the oldest generation.
2. If profiles were loaded by GEDCOM, use WikiTree Styles and Standards to clean up residue and broken links.
3. Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources.
4. Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies.
5. Make sure profiles of all family members are correct and documented.
6. Profiles need to be linked to the greater WikiTree. Try to find the connection.
